TVLine has learned that the Golden Globe-nominated Desperate Housewives alum has booked a three-episode arc as Sophia, a defense attorney who catches the attention of Jake Peralta (played by Andy Samberg) when she faces off against him in court.

This is only okay if makes Amy jealous and thus pushes the Jake/Amy storyline forward. Slow build is great but I just hope Sophia isn’t one of the first in a long line of pointless hook-ups for Jake and Amy before we get any semblance of them as a couple.

I think there’s a decent likelihood of Amy being jealous being part of the story. I would assume that this would be mirror version of what Jake felt with Amy and Teddy in season 1. However, I wouldn’t hedge any bets on Jake and Amy getting close to being a couple anytime soon. Its only season 2 after all.
